Chapter 718: Emotional value is in place
People who can fish people out of the Imperial Prison are gods!
Recently, the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison have looked up to Chen Guanlou with the eyes of looking at gods.
For a time, he was shining with gold, bringing his own divine energy.
Chen Guanlou:...
Hiding in the office drinking tea, he was annoyed to death.
There was no news from the Hou Fu side yet, and people in the Heavenly Prison came to the door again, wanting to smash money to fish people out.
He didn't see anyone. Even if the King of Heaven came, he wouldn't see him.
Mu Qingshan sent away another person who asked to see him, and the anger value of the workplace social animal cow and horse was about to reach the peak. "People are here every day, the student's document work is delayed, and I have to work overtime again tonight."
"I'll give you a bonus." Chen Guanlou only had one move to appease people, simple and rude: add money!
Mu Qingshan's cow and horse social animal face changed instantly, turning into an ingratiating face. "Is it worth it for the master to attract such great attention for a little money?"
"Worth it! How can it not be worth it!"
Who would think that tens of thousands of taels of silver are too much. After deducting the expenses of all kinds of handling, the money that falls into his own pocket is enough for him to buy a long string of beautiful girls.
Compared to the business where silver has to go through the Ministry of Justice and finally fall into his own hands, it is much stronger.
"The master is now being roasted on the fire, haven't you thought about the consequences."
"What consequences can there be. I am who, a mere prison warden, a fart-sized errand. If I am removed, I will go to the prison to be a prison guard, which is just a few steps away. Kill me? I will kill the other party first! Drive me out of the Heavenly Prison, okay, I just happen to go out for a walk, maybe walking and walking, the fate will come, just close the door on the spot, step into the Grandmaster realm with one foot, fly to the sky in the daytime, and shock the small ones."
He dreamed beautifully.
Mu Qingshan couldn't listen anymore. "In a word, anything is fine."
"That's right, anything is fine." Chen Guanlou nodded, with an attitude of lying flat wherever he fell, and for the hustle and bustle of the outside world, he could do not look, not listen, and not care, continuing to live his simple and unadorned rich and lazy life.
Mu Qingshan couldn't stand it, and couldn't win the argument, so he could only hold his own anger and go to the next room to work, burying his head in hard work, striving to complete most of the document work before getting off work.
Medical Official Mu took the tea leaves, walked into the office with a smile, and made tea by himself, tasting tea in one go.
"The Heavenly Prison is lively these two days!" He teased. "Master, you are great, you can fish people out of the Imperial Prison. Now up and down the capital, speaking of you, everyone has to give a
Chen Guanlou drank tea along with him, cultivating his character, "I just have good luck."
"No! This isn't luck; this is strength. People who are more lavish than you, have more status, more position, and more power, all return in defeat when they encounter the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Yet you managed to do what others couldn't; it must be strength, it has nothing to do with luck."
"This time it really was luck. If it were someone else, an official who wasn't so clean, this matter wouldn't have been accomplished."
"What do you call this? This is called having the right time, the right place, and the right people, all complete. What does it explain? It explains that Heaven itself is on your side, helping you facilitate this matter. My lord, you are truly awesome!"
Look at that, both surnamed Mu; one only knows how to complain and grumble, while the other provides full emotional value, every sentence a compliment—you have to admit it.
This emotional value is spot on!
Chen Guanlou chuckled, "Old Mu, if your nephew had even half of your ability, he wouldn't have to worry after entering the officialdom."
Upon hearing this, Medical Official Mu was truly disgusted, "If he had half of my ability, I would have handed the Mu Family Medical Clinic over to him to manage. Him? He's read books until he's become pedantic. But he's already much better now than he was in his twenties. In his earlier years, that was truly indescribable—pedantic and rigid. If it weren't for the fact that he has the standard face of a Mu family member, I would have suspected he wasn't a Mu family member at all."
Medical Official Mu felt bitter inside!
The Mu family's talent is withering; after a hundred years, he will have no face to face his ancestors!
Chen Guanlou laughed happily, "People have their own aspirations! If he can't inherit the medical clinic, he's still qualified to be a private secretary. At least his paperwork is very well done."
"After reading books for so many years, that's the only thing he can show for it, barely enough to support his wife and children, so he doesn't have to live on relief all day." Medical Official Mu was not at all polite when complaining about his nephew. It shows how deep his resentment is.
Turning his head, he asked again, "The outside world is almost turned upside down; is my lord really not worried? There are no fewer than five hundred people locked up in the Imperial Prison. Some have been locked up for ten or twenty years and dream of getting out. I reckon that there won't be few people looking for you later."
"But there are very few people who can afford the price."
Chen Guanlou's asking price is kept secret from the outside.
But thinking about it with one's brain, one knows it's not cheap; it certainly won't be lower than ten thousand taels. As for exactly how many tens of thousands, no one can find out. Judging by the trend that he hasn't taken any orders in the past few days, I'm afraid ordinary people can't afford it.
"You really intend to fish people out of the Imperial Prison. This business is not easy to do! If you're not careful, you might fall into it yourself. Even if you aren't afraid of losing your life, the officialdom has its rules. If you really fall into it, you'll be the one to suffer the consequences."
Medical Official Mu not only gave full emotional value but was also deeply caring, like a wise elder, thinking of everything for him.
Chen Guanlou put his arm around the other's shoulder, "Old Mu, if I have meat to eat, you have meat to eat; if I have ten taels of silver, you have one tael. You don't need to worry too much about me; I have ways to deal with it. I don't intend to do this business of fishing people out for long. I'll do at most one more job and then quit. That guy surnamed Xiao won't allow a Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng to use the Embroidered Uniform Guard as a banner. I also don't want to get involved with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, especially the kind of intimate relationship like the current one."
"If you have this realization, I can rest easy. That bunch of people in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as you put it, are all perverts; they are not quite the same as us normal people. You must be careful."
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Chen Guanlou's idea is very simple: he won't take outside orders.
At most, if there is a message from the Chief Steward, he will wash his hands of it after completing the order entrusted by the Chief Steward. Even if he has to return to the world of fishing people out again in the future, he will only fish out prisoners from the Heavenly Prison.
He won't even glance at prisoners outside the Heavenly Prison.
Regardless of how much grievance they have, how much injustice, how rich they are, or what status they have, he guarantees he won't look at them twice; he treats money like dirt!
He keeps his word!
The water here is deep!
He only stepped in shallowly, and it has already attracted so much discussion and so much attention. If he stepped in with both feet and went deeper, he is afraid of being drowned.
No matter how good one's swimming is, one is still afraid of drowning!
He is a person of principle and certainly won't say one thing and do another.
A few days later, a letter came from the Chief Steward.
Fifteen thousand taels, deal!
This time, it was Chen Guanlou's turn to be dumbfounded, tongue-tied, and shocked.
"That's fifteen thousand taels, not fifteen thousand, and certainly not fifteen hundred. To take it out just like that, they are truly rich! This bunch of capital power-brokers—whatever the richest man in the region is, they are all scum in front of them."
So much money just to fish out three people.
How precious are these three people?
